Much Ado About Nothing

This is part of a new collection of the Bard's greatest plays, digested to a few thousand words with invaluable side notes from John Sutherland. Funny and incredibly clever, these parodies are a joy for those who know their Shakespeare, perfect for the theatregoer needing a quick recap, and a massive relief for those just desperate to pass their English exam.

John Crace is the author of the Guardian's "Digested Read" columns and the author of Brideshead Abbreviated and The Digested Read. John Sutherland writes for the Guardian, the Times and the New York Times, and is the author of How Literature Works and So You Think You Know Jane Austen?
